MyArea Network, which operates 813area.com and over 75 other local area websites including 727area.com and 407area.com has recently launched a new dashboard for local business owners and managers.

The new product is just one of the many enhancements recently added to the MyArea Network websites. The Business Dashboard provides a combination of tools for businesses to be more engaged with MyArea Network's audience and also performance stats on how the business is engaged. Some basic tools allow the business to edit their profiles, post events, upload photos and soon will be able to post local offers. This allows business managers and owners to increase their brand and make their business more attractive on the websites. The Manage Reviews tool allows businesses to manage their online reputation by not only viewing reviews but being able to respond directly to any reviews posted about their business.

Engagement Stats are one of the more powerful features of the new Business Dashboard. Here businesses can see how many times people clicked to visit their website, clicked to call their business, clicked to view directions and how many people connected with the business. This helps them see the overall ROI of how their presence on MyArea Network websites helps increase their brand and traffic.

Here in Tampa Bay, 813area.com and 727area.com are widely popular for Photo Promotions where photographers take pictures of people out at events and various bars/clubs throughout the area. The new Business Dashboard allows business managers to see stats on how Photo Promotions is helping increase their brand. It shows how many times the photos are being viewed, shared and downloaded. It also provides an interactive map so that they can drill down and see where the people are located, provides demographic stats and more. The new Business Dashboard is absolutely free to all local business owners and managers.
